The development of technology and changes in the world have dramatically increased
the psycho-emotional risk exposure for office employees. At the work with computer and digital
devices in the offices, employees are exposed to several risk factors of the work environment and
one of the most frequent complaints is psycho-emotional load caused by various issues. There is
no denying that sleep is one of the basic human needs, and sleep quality is important for
maintaining and preserving good health and wellbeing. Sleep hygiene includes a set of various
measures, such as the regularity of waking up and going to bed, that can affect and improve the
quality of sleep. Sleep quality is closely related to mental health, as poor mental health can
negatively affect sleep quality and vice versa. Reduced psycho-emotional load is associated with
better sleep hygiene and also good sleep hygiene is associated with reduced psycho-emotional
load. Health promotion measures and a work environment that supports sleep health could reduce
psycho-emotional load experienced by employees, increase work ability, productivity and reduce
the risk of accidents at the workplace. The aim of this study was to investigate psycho-emotional
load and sleep hygiene importance for office employees.
